Critique for Garrett and Jamie
I’d like to give it 3.5 stars but that’s not an option. I gave it 4 just to show some love.... First what I do like is how many topics they cover about the Chargers and each episode is almost an hour long. They really go into depth and I love that they cover the build up to the draft. What I don’t like is how they, more so Jamie, tend to speak as if he’s more knowledgeable than the coaches and front office. Too many times he gives his opinion in a condescending tone as if it’s fact and not actually just his opinion. Jamie’s cussing gives off a negative/cynical tone and it just sounds extremely unprofessional and immature. I also think it would be better to have 2 host who don’t have almost the exact same opinion on almost everything. It’s like this.... one of them gives his opinion on a topic while the other waits his turn to share his opinion on the said topic and then repeats almost the exact same thing. It’s repetitive. IMO just like any other show/podcast, the more popular ones consist of 2 hosts who tend to have differing viewpoints on topics. This way you cater to more of the audience, we get to hear differing perspectives and have more of an opportunity to hear a host that may see things how we see it. This may lead to a larger portion of the audience feeling like they’re opinions are validated by at least one of the hosts. That’s my biggest gripe with the show. Personally I’d like to see Jamie replaced by a fun/energetic personality who shares different viewpoints from Garrett. I honestly feel like Jamie brings down the quality and energy of the podcast. This podcast has the potential to be really good if Garrett had a better cohost.
